Buyer Beware .......2007-07-11
I bought this refurbished directly from Kodak. A week after I received it the lens stopped retracting when I turned the camera off. So I sent it in for repairs to the outside company which does all of Kodak's repairs, Precision Camera Repairs. Later I received a letter saying the camera had "impact damage" and was not covered under the warranty. I went rounds with both companies. The repair center kept telling me I needed to discuss my problems with Kodak, while Kodak was telling me it was up to Precision Repair. After calling around for days I got nowhere. After giving in I paid $122.95 for repairs. Now after having the camera for just over a year it's broke again! The ok button has stopped functioning, I am unable to delete photos and format the memory card. Making the camera useless because the photo capacity is full. This camera is cheaply manufactured by a company that does not want to back up their products.
Good camera, BAD software.......2007-03-10
We've enjoyed this camera except for the week where the lcd screen wouldn't function. It started working again the day I was going to send it off for warrantied repairs. The camera is stylish and takes very nice pictures for the price. It also is really handy for taking videos. They actually come out pretty good. I would purchase it or something similar again. The idea of the printer dock is very handy. In theory it is a fantastic product but needs some bugs worked out to make it really good.
I do have some difficulty getting the printer dock to print from my laptop and end up having to unplug and replug it and generally mess with it for longer than I would like.
The worst part is the software. It will not save a video correctly. It is over simplified and there really isn't much you can do to edit pictures. Sometimes it won't allow you to correct red eye which seems like a basic function. I HATE the software and am in the market for something else which is an expense I wish I didn't have.
Great Camera, only a couple short-comings.......2007-02-09
The camera is a great little machine! It's so tiny you can tuck it in your pocket or purse without sucking up serious space.
Most of my pictures are clear & sharp. The sport function ROCKS. It was the fastest one I tested when I bought it (1.5yrs ago) I have pictures of my daughter in mid-air jumping out of a swing.
The shot-to-shot refresh is non-existant (in most fuctions, except the nighttime or fireworks settings). As soon as you take one shot, you're ready for the next. This was a big bonus over my last SONY digital that took about 4-5 seconds to refresh.
My primary complaint is the zoom & flash range. They both fall VERY short of what I need. I was in the 6th row at my son's graduation in an auditorium & wasn't able to get a clear shot. They were all muddy & dark. The same held true at my daughter's gymnastics meet. Any distance at all & you've lost the clarity. The zoom almost always turns out shaky looking.
I'd recommend the camera however.
Camera is great, so long as it is working.......2007-02-07
Had the camera for 4 months and it worked like a charm, loved it! Went to charge it one day and the camera got really hot and subsequently wouldn't turn on. Call Kodak, they tell me to send it to their repair center--United Camera--and am reassured so long as the camera was not a victim of water or impact damage, it could be repaired under warranty.
Receive letter from United camera saying the main board needed to be repaired, that no 'customer misuse' present. Okay, I think, fine. Receive subsequent letter from UC saying upon further inspection, the damage is due to customer misuse and warranty is void and it will be $180 to fix the camera. I challenge this with UC who says I must call Kodak. I call Kodak who says that the final decision is made by UC. I call UC again and get them to admit that they cannot prove that the camera was damaged by 'customer misuse' however that they cannot repair the camera under warranty as Kodak's policy states that they must categorize it as such. They admit to me that the policy is bulls@#$ but that they cannot do anything about it. And you have to pay about $50 to have the camera returned to you ($35 inspection fee plus shipping) if you do not pay to have the repairs done.
In summary, the camera is great while it's working, but good luck if anything ever happens to it. 3 of 4 of my friends who also purchased this camera had similar experiences, none of which were covered under warranty. OH, and NO other camera repair places (Wolf, etc.) are allowed to fix Kodak cameras--Kodak insists that only United Camera fix them... And don't bother with a civil suit against Kodak, they're already buried in them.
Great Camera!!!.......2007-01-09
I got this camrea with some Christmas money and I just LOVE this camrea!! The Wifi works great with a home network. The on-camrea editing works just perfect! I love the Kodak Perfect touch editing! It improves the WHOLE picture quality.
The one bad thing is the battery life... The first night I got it the camrea told me I had to recharge the battery withing the first 6 hours. But I did use the Wifi quite a bit so that probabally makes a big difference.

Poor Design and Even Poorer Customer Service.......2007-08-24
LOVED this camera until it broke one year later. I mean it completely broke. It's dead. The battery power died during a photo shoot and killed the camera. Now it won't even turn on. See my post in the forum on this page for more info. The short of it all is, do NOT buy Kodak. My GF has a Canon Elph and it's far more amazing than anything Kodak makes. Plus if you ever have to deal with Kodak's customer service...well, let's hope you never have to.
Video and Digital.......2007-08-13
I love this camera sooo much. I have never taken as many pictures as I do now. I have had this camera for over a year now and still find it a pleasure to use. This camera is sleek, very user friendly and allows me to capture video and digital moments for long lasting memories. I love it!
Easy to use and easy to carry.......2007-06-02
This camera is awesome. I love the fact that now I can carry my camera with me everyday and not have to lug an extra carrying case. The pictures are sharp and clear and it it easy to use. I do suggest using the wrist strap as my husband had a hard time with the "smallness" of the camera. I did not find it hard to use or handle. The picture on the LCD is clear and easy to see in all lighting conditions.
UPDATED REVIEW - MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH V550.......2007-04-06
Bought the Kodak Easy Share V550 about a year ago because I need the simplest most dependable camera I can find. Up front, I need to say that I'm pretty much a complete idiot when it comes to photography. While my husband, who is an amateur photographer has gotten some pretty good photos, my experience has been hit and miss. I find the teeney tiny buttons, some just pressure pads, difficult to use. Also, I don't think the icons clearly indicate the button function. The main selection button on the back has so many options, its staggering. I will say that the warranty service is very good. The LCD screen wasn't working properly and there were some other problems. I contacted the service center listed at the Kodak website and received promptly friendly replies. Camera was sent off, repaired and returned without any charge to me other than the initial shipping. UPDATE: The camera worked okay for only about 2 months and since then I've had nothing but trouble. Battery freshly and fully charged, but camera freezes after 2-3 photos - lens won't retract, camera won't turn off - have to remove battery to get camera to shut off and lens retract. Recharge, start over, same thing happens. Can't turn LCD screen on to use instead of view finder. Handbook says just press the main control button - no help. Sister-in-law has an earlier version of Easy Share and loves it. She can't figure the V550 out either. Something is very wrong here - I'm guessing there is something wrong with the circuitry. Apparently, there is a quality control issue, as some people seem to have had great experiences with the V550 and others, like me unfortunately, have had very bad experiences. I paid over $300.00 plus accessories and only got a few dozen so-so photos. The Warranty was only good for one year.
Good.......2007-02-10
This is a good camera but buy the newer kodak. I don't even think they make this one anymore. Think they are up to the v600 series now.
A tad slow in shots but this was my wifes and I use a Rebel XT so not fair to compare to a D-SLR.

So I sent it in for repairs to the outside company which does all of Kodak's repairs, Precision Camera Repairs. Later I received a letter saying the camera had "impact damage" and was not covered under the warranty. I went rounds with both companies. The repair center kept telling me I needed to discuss my problems with Kodak, while Kodak was telling me it was up to Precision Repair. After calling around for days I got nowhere. After giving in I paid $122.95 for repairs. Now after having the camera for just over a year it's broke again! The ok button has stopped functioning, I am unable to delete photos and format the memory card. Making the camera useless because the photo capacity is full. This camera is cheaply manufactured by a company that does not want to back up their products.
Good camera, BAD software.......2007-03-10
We've enjoyed this camera except for the week where the lcd screen wouldn't function. It started working again the day I was going to send it off for warrantied repairs. The camera is stylish and takes very nice pictures for the price. It also is really handy for taking videos. They actually come out pretty good. I would purchase it or something similar again. The idea of the printer dock is very handy. In theory it is a fantastic product but needs some bugs worked out to make it really good.
I do have some difficulty getting the printer dock to print from my laptop and end up having to unplug and replug it and generally mess with it for longer than I would like.
The worst part is the software. It will not save a video correctly. It is over simplified and there really isn't much you can do to edit pictures. Sometimes it won't allow you to correct red eye which seems like a basic function. I HATE the software and am in the market for something else which is an expense I wish I didn't have.
Great Camera, only a couple short-comings.......2007-02-09
The camera is a great little machine! It's so tiny you can tuck it in your pocket or purse without sucking up serious space.
Most of my pictures are clear & sharp. The sport function ROCKS. It was the fastest one I tested when I bought it (1.5yrs ago) I have pictures of my daughter in mid-air jumping out of a swing.
The shot-to-shot refresh is non-existant (in most fuctions, except the nighttime or fireworks settings). As soon as you take one shot, you're ready for the next. This was a big bonus over my last SONY digital that took about 4-5 seconds to refresh.
My primary complaint is the zoom & flash range. They both fall VERY short of what I need. I was in the 6th row at my son's graduation in an auditorium & wasn't able to get a clear shot. They were all muddy & dark. The same held true at my daughter's gymnastics meet. Any distance at all & you've lost the clarity. The zoom almost always turns out shaky looking.
I'd recommend the camera however.
Camera is great, so long as it is working.......2007-02-07
Had the camera for 4 months and it worked like a charm, loved it! Went to charge it one day and the camera got really hot and subsequently wouldn't turn on. Call Kodak, they tell me to send it to their repair center--United Camera--and am reassured so long as the camera was not a victim of water or impact damage, it could be repaired under warranty.
Receive letter from United camera saying the main board needed to be repaired, that no 'customer misuse' present. Okay, I think, fine. Receive subsequent letter from UC saying upon further inspection, the damage is due to customer misuse and warranty is void and it will be $180 to fix the camera. I challenge this with UC who says I must call Kodak. I call Kodak who says that the final decision is made by UC. I call UC again and get them to admit that they cannot prove that the camera was damaged by 'customer misuse' however that they cannot repair the camera under warranty as Kodak's policy states that they must categorize it as such. They admit to me that the policy is bulls@#$ but that they cannot do anything about it. And you have to pay about $50 to have the camera returned to you ($35 inspection fee plus shipping) if you do not pay to have the repairs done.
In summary, the camera is great while it's working, but good luck if anything ever happens to it. 3 of 4 of my friends who also purchased this camera had similar experiences, none of which were covered under warranty. OH, and NO other camera repair places (Wolf, etc.) are allowed to fix Kodak cameras--Kodak insists that only United Camera fix them... And don't bother with a civil suit against Kodak, they're already buried in them.
Great Camera!!!.......2007-01-09
I got this camrea with some Christmas money and I just LOVE this camrea!! The Wifi works great with a home network. The on-camrea editing works just perfect! I love the Kodak Perfect touch editing! It improves the WHOLE picture quality.
The one bad thing is the battery life... The first night I got it the camrea told me I had to recharge the battery withing the first 6 hours. But I did use the Wifi quite a bit so that probabally makes a big difference.

Ehhh, could be better..........2006-06-30
I bought this camera as a replacement for my Casio Exilim Ex-Z40. The price was right, all the reviews seemed decent, but I am not nearly as satisfied with this camera as I was with my Casio. I have experimented a lot with this camera and I can never get true-to-life colors with it. People always seem really washed out, and the night picture settings only work if you have a tripod. The pictures are often slightly blurry, plus the battery doesn't last long enough for me. The screen isn't that big, and there are way too many buttons for people other than me to figure out. The only thing I do like about this camera is how good the red-eye setting is. Either way, my next camera will definitely be another Casio, or a Sony.
Impressed--it's a Kodak??.......2006-03-18
I have several digicams, including an expensive Nikon. I was going to get the Canon SD30, but the reviews on the V530 were better. I was initially rluctant, since Kodak has not been a major force in the digital field.
I read all reviews from 20 sites (OK..a bit obsessive), took sample shots in stores,and took a chance on this camers (I figured that I would pay a restock if needed). Well, I am overwhelmed. There is NO red eye issue (my biggest fear). The pics are sharp, focused, and the colors are accurate. There is no lag, and the pocket size is perfect. My only complaint is that there are TOO many pre-selected modes to choose from. I have spent hours experimenting. I wish that there were fewer choices....The battery life issues are moot to me, since I ALWAYS buy an extra battery for every digicam--it's a no-brainer. I rate battery life as average for this camera.
Overall, I am impressed. No regrets.
Amazing.......2006-03-09
I bought this camera because while I was traveling, my camera broke in my bag. So it was an emergency buy. I was glad that I purchased this because it was a great investment. I love the pictures it takes and it's extremely user friendly.
Amazing!.......2006-01-11
I researched digital cameras for close to a month trying to find the best camera for my money and this seems to be the one! its amazing! takes really good clear pictures and incredibly user friendly and easy to use software! would gladly recommend to anyone looking for a good, compact camera!!!
THIS CAMERA ROCCKKSS MY SOCKKSS.......2005-12-20
With the holidays coming this camera is catching those moments that only happen once a year. So when it may and I miss my family that lives far away I can look at the great photos of them and the time I had with them. This camera made my spirits bright. I hope it does to all of you to.
